If I can step away from my platform as a film critic for just a second, I want to acknowledge that America today has some issues. Regardless of your perspective on the current political climate, all you need to do is to turn on the news and...

Clearly people are head-over-heels for Todd Phillips' Joker. The marketing campaign and its trailers have garnered overwhelmingly positive chatter on social media, early reviews are mostly glowing, and excitement for a fresh take on the com...

October is shaping up to be a pretty major month if you're a fan of DC franchises. Joker will release at the beginning of the month, it looks like DC Universe's Harley Quinn series will release then as well, and lest we forget the gargantua...

As is standard routine for the Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime kind of just goes wherever he wants and does whatever he wants. Most of the Joker's best moments come from him just unexpectedly showing up and having a good time. Granted, his...

The closer we get to Joker's release, the more interested I am in the movie. I can't help myself since every scrap of footage, every set photo, and even its rating makes this look like such an odd but potentially captivating comic book movi...

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been a fan of anything that has come out of the DCEU since Man of Steel. Truth be told, the only movies I've been looking forward to from DC have been ones that are tangentially related to their abo...

Never doubt DC's ability to shoot itself in the foot. With those other guys in a definite lull period now and their two most recent movies being fun and successful, the house that Superman built is ready to get back to their bread and...

It has been a long journey ever since Warner Bros. and DC made their plans for an origin movie on Batman's arch-nemesis known. When Joaquin Phoenix was announced to be the Joker for Todd Phillip's film, many felt that this was a film that ...

No one really has any clue what Todd Phillip's Joker is going to be like but we've got our first poster for the movie and it is incredibly subdued, hinting at a film that is more character than comic. Contrasting this with, say, an Avengers...

Last week I saw The Sister's Brothers, a dramatic western starring John C. Reilly, Jake Gyllenhaal and Joaquin Phoenix. I think about 4 people saw it on release, but the movie was rad and everyone had great performances. One very noticeable...

We've gotten a peek at what Joaquin Phoenix will look like as "Arthur," who we know will turn into the Joker in his own origin movie. Courtesy of director Todd Phillips, we now have a look of Phoenix in his full-on Joker cost...

The Joker origin film starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips has been a long time coming. What seemed to be a total pipe dream by Warner Bros., a studio that seems to announce a new DC film every oth...

UPDATE: Well, that was fast. A day after Deadline broke the news that Alec Baldwin would portray Thomas Wayne in Todd Phillips' Joaquin Phoenix-starring Joker origin movie, the actor told USA Today that this was no longer the...

San Diego Comic Con is well underway. Movies and shows are making their debut, and trailers are surfacing on YouTube. Warner Bros. has yet to announce anything yet (their panel is scheduled for Saturday morning) but there are already rumors...

Look, we get it: making movies is a tough business. But when you send in ten film executives in a boardroom, they shouldn't come out with ideas for ten different movies about Batman's clownish nemesis. I never believed that any of these&nbs...

Recently, we discussed just how many Joker movies Jared Leto has in the works. Absolutely everyone agreed it was insanity. Now, news is gathering like a compacted bowel ready to void itself in explosive fashion: Jared Leto is not only ...

Despite being a mediocre movie, Suicide Squad pushed weight at the box office to the tune of $325.1M domestic and $746.8M worldwide. Obviously, none of that had to do with Ben Affleck's Batman, so Warner Brothers and DC have ...

The Hangover director Todd Phillips and legendary film producer Martin Scorsese are an unlikely pair still making an unlikely project: a Joker origin movie. And with that unlikely idea comes an unlikely casting fantasy in actor Joaquin Phoe...

One of the best parts of Heath Ledger's joker was that we had no idea where he came from. He routinely made up origin stories in both a fantastic way to define the character as un-moored chaos, but also a commentary on how overblown we are ...
